5 years after the phenomenal "Singin' in the Rain," Gene Kelly probably decided to hang up his dancing shoes. He directed this 1957 misery and the film is miserable throughout.
Two children run away from their private school in Switzerland. They want to get to Paris to be with their respective parents, Gene Kelly, a widower who works all day and enjoys little, and Barbara Laage, a divorcée on the verge of marrying a wealthy man.
The film follows the various adventures of the children making their way to France with Kelly and Ms. Laage in pursuit.
There is just nothing to this film. How Michael Redgrave got involved as a general in charge of an army on maneuvers is beyond me.
Kelly and Laage discover things about themselves during this chase and even when they're reunited with their children, one wonders if they will get together. Actually, you don't have to wonder because you really don't care. Miserable production all around.
